Topsheet chips are:

1) Your fault.

2) Something that happens to varying degrees on every ski.

3) Mainly cosmetic.

I would cut the loose stuff off with a razor, and lightly sand rough spots that need it, but be careful not to overdo it.

AR6 are known for a bad top sheet. Mine is all chewed up also, has no effect on the ski though they are still the best ski ever!

heres what you do:

look down, notice your topsheet is chipped, say "ah shit", realize it in no way affects the ski, then continue skiing.
thats what I do. works every time.

ya deffiently true as some one said just cut of the loose bits! doesnt effect the ski at all.

i was supper bummed when the first day of skiing my k2 diosordlys started  to chip, but i got over it soon.
